5.0 378 Reviews Corio is a large, established northern Geelong suburb that sits right on the edge of the bay, with a housing mix that runs from postwar homes to growing new estates. The bay breeze cools summer afternoons but also carries a bite on winter mornings, and many older homes were built at a time when insulation was minimal. We help Corio residents bring their homes up to modern comfort standards without overspending, through sensibly sized air conditioning and efficient heat pump hot water.
Free after sale support for 5 years on all manufacturer warranty claims & 7 years’ coverage on faults and labour on all air conditioners and heating systems.
With over ten years in the business, Too Hot To Handle has successfully installed more than 10,000 heating and cooling systems across Geelong.

Ducted reverse cycle is a strong option for larger Corio family homes, and especially for those with extended living areas. We size based on actual heat load, taking the home’s insulation, window area and orientation into account, because an undersized system simply cannot catch up on a forty degree January afternoon. With the right design, a ducted system in Corio will quietly manage both heating and cooling year round, giving you one system that handles everything.

Split systems are the fastest way to make an older Corio home genuinely comfortable. Whether you are improving a rental for a new tenant, setting up a granny flat for a parent or simply upgrading an older home you have lived in for decades, a quality split system delivers a quick win. We fit units that are quiet, efficient and supported by local warranty agents, so any future service request is handled without drama.

Heat pump hot water is particularly well suited to Corio because ambient conditions stay mild enough through most of the year for these systems to operate in their most efficient range. Switching from a tired gas or electric tank delivers immediate savings, and rebates make the upgrade more accessible than many people expect. We handle the old unit removal, install the new system on a proper base, and commission it so you are ready to go from day one.
Contact our Corio team for a free quote and clear advice on improving comfort and cutting running costs in your home. For Corio families watching the household budget, we offer practical staged plans where splits or hot water can be upgraded first and ducted can follow later. Every step is sized so the previous purchase still makes sense once the later upgrade is added.
